what languages are spoken most in croatia?

My friends and I are considering a trip to Croatia. I enjoy traveling, but I often find communication to be a challenge in foreign countries. Do Croatians speak English, French, or Spanish in addition to Croatian?

Hi, I’m from Croatia (and speak English, French and Spanish).

If you speak English (and you obviously do) you won’t have any problems communicating with people here, no matter what part of the country you are going to visit.

I hope that you’ll visit Croatia and am sure that you’ll enjoy your stay!

(btw, we are not Croatians, we are Croats 🙂 )

” Many Croatians speak English as their second language, but German and Italian are very popular too (largely because of the large annual influx of German and Italian tourists).

People in the tourist industry most often speak English quite well, as do the younger generation, especially in the tourist areas of Istria, along the coast down to Dubrovnik, and in the capital, Zagreb. Elder people will rarely speak English, but you shouldn’t have any problems if you switch to German or Italian.

Croatian is not an easy language to learn, but the people like when foreign travelers use it for basic things such as greeting and thanking.”

many young educated croatians speak english.

along the dalmatian coast, esp. in the north, Italian is widely spoken by people of all ages.

older people sometimes speak german ( a legacy of austro-hungarian empire days)

spanish and french – unlikely.
